I was drawing those comparisons before the election, and people kept telling me I was crazy, and being "overly-dramatic". I got called all sorts of things. I'm not a liberal or a democrat, and got called those things, too.

I'm a student of history. We HAVE seen this before. More than once.

@TheMiddleWay So I guess the xenophobia and encouraging violence against dissenters, and wanting military parades down the streets of the capital, and wanting to suppress the media, and supporting violent supremacists, and blocking polls are all copacetic for you and are signs of a healthy democracy. Right. Got it.

Sometimes there actually are parallels, and a comparison is merited. This is how tyrants rise up in a modern democracy - not some banana republic.

Jesus H Fucking Christ! I don't remember anyone else but Crump saying the media is the enemy of the people! Anyone who says that the media is the enemy of the people IS the enemy of the people!

@KKGator I tend to see these things as you do and I have a similar political history having never voted for party alone. Comparing Bush or Obama to Hitler is nothing that corrects our current situation so seeing it or discussing it now is useless. "Alternative facts" is simply another term for lies. You have facts an d you have non-facts.

@DenoPenno I cannot recall seeing any comparison of Bush or Obama to Hitler. I'm not saying there weren't any, but I didn't see them, and I'm a news junkie. I've been watching 45 for over 40 years and he's provided me with ample evidence of his intentions. Neither Bush nor Obama ever did the shit that this asshole is doing. He's just getting warmed up. He's going to get worse.

@KKGator I agree with you and some of these "comparisons" may have came later because media is always changing and sometimes after the fact. Religion was the first to start doing that. I'm also a news junkie and I'm constantly on computer looking at sources.

@TheMiddleWay And whomever think Godwin's law means no one can act like Hitler is naive and deluded.

Also, you say his behavior doesn't disturb you, so you must be okay with it. Maybe you did live under a dictator a little too long.

@TheMiddleWay There are only two possibilities with Trump. One either is okay with what he is doing, or one is disturbed by what he is doing. Name another possibility.

You say he doesn't disturb you, ergo you must be okay with him. It's simple syllogistic logic.
